this vote format is really not suitable for the vote counting software. the proper way to format it for the vote counting software is
[] Shackled Herald of the Wastes (Must be invoked for each Off World Inquiry Made)
-[] Look for Jobs
--[] The Last Battallion: A Warband that you impressed with your activities a few years ago

It clearly won, but it made somewhat of a mess from the vote count. Luckily it can just sorta be ignored or merged together which gives this vote count

5 people didn't specify to look for jobs in the last battalion, instead putting it under shackled herald and not mentioning the last battallion at all, so a write in vote to look for job with whomever... i think. that or they weren't paying attention.

Also, the whole "manually vote for shackled messenger" thing for every action that needs it makes no sense, it should just be used whenever it is appropriate.

so instead of:
[] Shackled Herald of the Wastes (Must be invoked for each Off World Inquiry Made)
-[] Look for Jobs
--[] The Last Battallion: A Warband that you impressed with your activities a few years ago

just have:
[] Look for Jobs (shackled messenger)

Grindstones

The last year has been amazingly unproductive. Lilith is constantly keeping you on your toes between wanting to go on the odd adventure (And often slipping out despite your best efforts), and between keeping her out of the worst troubles and managing your growing demense, you haven't had a great deal of time to yourself--though you have managed to spare a little of it to get a reasonable militia program running to ensure that your territories wouldn't be rolled over if you had to spend a few months offworld--though the decided lack of fortifications isn't exactly making you comfortable.

Still, you managed to send word to the Battallion, letting them know you would be free if they had need of an extra hand--and while they haven't sent you a return message yet, you're confident that your spellcraft was on the ball.

Of course, that just left you with the current problem at hand.

"Where did you even find that?" You shake your head, Lilith sitting on top of the head of a Snake Emperor that she had dragged back home after her recent incursion.

"Dunno" She shakes her head--you've trimmed her hair down lightly, and she's filled out over the last few years as her growth continued, but she's still recognizable as the ragamuffin that you had called dibs on. "I was hungry, it was there, and I had my knife, so I went and poked it until it fell over!" She smiled at that, completely oblivious to the fact that most people can't kill a giant reptillian monster the size of a small house with a knife.

"It wasn't very good to eat though, kinda stung a bit going down" She deflated slightly, but perked up after a moment's further consideration. "But the eggs were good! Took me some time to find it's nest, and they were hard to see with all the shiny stuff in there, but I cooked 'em up just fine! I've actually brought a couple back."

"Maybe la... Wait, shiny walls?"

Lilith nodded, hopping off of her perch. "Yep! I brought a few back." She slings her pack off and rummages through it, biting her lip on the way through. "Right... Here!"

You didn't blink--that would have been beneath you, but what she had there...

"I don't suppose you remember where that cave was, do you?"

Turn Results:
No Stats Gained
Lilith growth stable, no unexpected gains.
Militia System set up.
Precious Gem Vein discovered, when tapped, will generate 50 Wealth per year

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few weeks after that event, a shuttle from the Last Battallion had arrived--Pinhead was... Far less mouthy than he was before, clearly you had earned some measure of respect when you survived battle with that band of Terminators. He announced that the Master was, in fact, looking for extra hands to handle some work that was going on, and that your assistance would be most welcome...

[ ] Operation Ironbreaker
Client: The Tech Mystics of the Blue Moon
Objective: The Tech Mystics have scryed the aether, and determined that a Space Hulk would be arriving in the next few months, littered with lost technology and secret arts that would be best in their hands, as opposed to one of their rival sects.
Likely Opposition: Orks, Genestealers, small possibility of Astartes, loyal or otherwise
Likely Rewards: Wealth, Archaeotech, Favors from the Tech Mystics
Estimated Difficulty: Unknown

[ ] Operation Soulgrinder
Client: The Last Battallion
Objective: The Battallion is at it again, turning their sights to a moderately popular system while Jerichon is in the middle of recovering from the recent incursion. An assault for slaves, loot, and bleeding the Sector's strength a little more.
Likely Opposition: PDF, Imperial Guard, Small possibility of Astartes
Likely Rewards: Wealth, Slaves, Favors from the Last Battallion
Estimated Difficulty: Low

[ ] Operation Blackhand
Client: The Sorcerer Cabal of Athrian
Objective: One of the secret libraries of this cabal is under siege by the Bloody Dagger Warband, and while the defenses are holding, they won't last indefinitely. Enter the library and recover as many of their secrets as can be saved, and you will be rewarded accordingly.
Likely Opposition: The Bloody Daggers (Khornate Warband)
Likely Rewards: Wealth, Ritual Knowledge, Favors from the Althrian Cabal
Estimated Difficulty: High

Furthermore, you need to decide what you should bring with you...

[ ] Lilith the Massacre Princess
Class: Neophyte Astartes
Assets: Able combattant, agile, can get into tight spaces.

[ ] Mara the False Hospitalier
Class: Adept
Assets: Reduces fatalities, can prepare chemicals at need.

[ ] Common Armsmen
Available Space: One Platoon
Assets: Can hold ground, can reliably defeat untrained forces with minimal losses. Resistance to being outnumbered.

Objective: The Tech Mystics have scryed the aether, and determined that a Space Hulk would be arriving in the next few months, littered with lost technology and secret arts that would be best in their hands, as opposed to one of their rival sects.
Likely Opposition: Orks, Genestealers, small possibility of Astartes, loyal or otherwise
Likely Rewards: Wealth, Archaeotech, Favors from the Tech Mystics
Estimated Difficulty: Unknown

The fun option, gives us random cool tech. No helpers for this though, the last thing we need is genestealer infested armsmen.

[ ] Operation Soulgrinder
Client: The Last Battallion
Objective: The Battallion is at it again, turning their sights to a moderately popular system while Jerichon is in the middle of recovering from the recent incursion. An assault for slaves, loot, and bleeding the Sector's strength a little more.
Likely Opposition: PDF, Imperial Guard, Small possibility of Astartes
Likely Rewards: Wealth, Slaves, Favors from the Last Battallion
Estimated Difficulty: Low

This is one we could bring the armsmen on, and one we already made an impression on the leaders of.

Objective: One of the secret libraries of this cabal is under siege by the Bloody Dagger Warband, and while the defenses are holding, they won't last indefinitely. Enter the library and recover as many of their secrets as can be saved, and you will be rewarded accordingly.
Likely Opposition: The Bloody Daggers (Khornate Warband)
Likely Rewards: Wealth, Ritual Knowledge, Favors from the Althrian Cabal
Estimated Difficulty: High

Armsmen is a bad idea for this, since it's a sorcerous library, and we'll be engaging a khornate warband. Sounds like a bad idea.

[] Operation Soulgrinder
[] Mara the False Hospitalier
[] Common Armsmen

We can get more shares of the loot with an army at our backs, and since one share of wealth is enough to fuel two common armsmen groups, that sounds fair. Mara is obviously there to lower casualties, not fight.

She'll have at least flak equivilent. She's got most of the physical enhancements up and running by now--most of what remains is the fiddly stuff like the anti-radiation sweat and the poison spit and whatnot.

And in case anyone's worried, Ironbreaker's difficulty is unknown because it's literally unknown. It could be damn near harmless, it could be full of Flayed Ones. Even I have no idea what it'll be full of!
